Hello ,
I bought a house last year with payg gas and electric, which are the old style , meaning I have to go to local pay point to top up .
My question is , I’ve had email like everyone else has saying the price cap is rising, however if I buy credit now ; let’s say £400 worth , will I be buying and using it at the cheaper rate or will the £400 just go less far fine April 1st ?
thsnks in advance
